Though his artistic language expanded from tonality to modality, atonality, aleatorics and clusters he remains separated from the "Avantgarde" composers. For Sojar Voglar : « There is no Avantgarde today. The present supporter of Avantgarde is as conservative as these which are declared conservative by the critics and musicologists. There are no rules for Avantgarde. The Music can really be only good or bad ». Črt Sojar Voglar does not write very long compositions. He believes the listener wants short but intensive content.
